Ned Lamont Ignores Connecticut Leaders & Business Owners
What seems to be a common-sense approach that has been adopted by both Democrats and Republicans across the country has been completely thrown out the window by the Lamont administration to make room for a Boston consulting firm with the price tag of 2 Million dollars.
“It is a very rare day when the Connecticut Republican Party is urging Governor Ned Lamont to be more like his fellow Democrat governor, Andrew Cuomo of New York,” said Connecticut Republican Party Chairman J.R. Romano.
Governor Cuomo set up his several regional reopen teams making sure local Government officials are valued members of these teams. They know their regions very well because they represent them in government.
What is most appalling about this move and reckless spending is the fact that the Reopen Connecticut Advisory Committee Chair Indra Nooyi worked for the same Boston consulting firm in the early 1980s. A blatant example from Lamont Administration that during this unprecedented public health crisis their priorities are to make sure old political friendships are rewarded and are taken care of before the people of this state.
“The purposeful lack of local officials has made it obvious that Ned Lamont does not trust the people of Connecticut," said Chairman Romano. "That’s why Connecticut Republican Party today calls on Governor Ned Lamont to remove the Boston consulting firm and to replace it with local leaders. Our local leaders know their communities because they serve their citizens every day and they know what decisions will work to keep them safe while getting our state back open.“
We have great legislators on the Public Health Committee in Hartford as well as countless medical professionals on both sides of the aisle serving in local and state government. It is time we call upon them to join the reopening team instead of people who do not have a stake in the game of keeping Connecticut safe.
